Contemplative Bible Reading

Isaiah 35: 5-7 (New Living Translation)

5 And when he comes, he will open the eyes of the blind
and unplug the ears of the deaf.
6 The lame will leap like a deer,
and those who cannot speak will sing for joy!
Springs will gush forth in the wilderness,
and streams will water the wasteland.
7 The parched ground will become a pool,
and springs of water will satisfy the thirsty land.
Marsh grass and reeds and rushes will flourish
where desert jackals once lived.

These verses tell what will happen with the Lord God returns. Incurable maladies will be cured. But that is a figure of speech. It is about healing the spirit and hope. Or is it?

There is the part about springs in the wilderness and marsh grass. Figure of speech or reality?

How about both? How about the physically blind having their sight restored. How about long dormant springs being freed with a few cracks in the rocks. Why not?

And how about hope being restored. People changing their feelings and attitudes towards God and towards one another.

I believe these verses have figures of speech AND have literal fulfillment. Why not? Is God too small to physically, mentally, emotionally, and any other -lly we can imagine to what God wishes for us?
